Xuanhu, King Yuwen of Xiyang, was patrolling the city routinely, checking how the camps in various places in the city, checking whether the soldiers’ bedding is warm, checking if they can eat hot pancakes at every meal, drink hot water, and listen to the soldiers’ voices.

In the cold winter, dripping water turns into ice. Being trapped in the lonely city under such climatic conditions is a test for people's psychology and physiology. Yuwen Wen did his best to ensure morale, not only saying it, but also implement it.

Everyone must have cold clothes that can keep the cold warm and bedding when sleeping. According to the requirements of food distribution, small stoves will be cancelled and the public room will provide food in a concentrated manner. This will ensure that everyone can have hot food and hot drinks.

For thousands of years, both the military and the civilians have paid attention to the principle of "not worrying about poverty or inequality". Yuwen Wen has implemented a rationing system for all materials in the city, so he must be as fair as possible.

In order to be relatively fair, he had to check from time to time to see if anyone was lying to disobey and started small hospitals and provided small benefits, which made others complain.

Because we need to consider setting up barricades to fight streets with enemy troops entering the city, the residential camps in Xuanhu City are divided into several areas, each camp has corresponding public houses, and injured patients are placed in a concentrated manner. Yu Wenwen has to walk around every day whenever he has time.

So everyone is very familiar with the King of Xiyang. When he sees him coming, they salute and greet him. Yuwen Wen nods frequently, stops from time to time to ask about his well-being, and arranges someone to resolve the problem when he encounters complaints.

Every time Yuwen Wen patrols the city, he must check a place, that is, the public housing. In addition to checking the food, he can see how the hot water boilers in the public housing are operating.

Hot water boilers are instruments that did not exist in this era, and for some reason, they appeared in advance.

The steam engine is a magical tool that triggered the industrial revolution. Of course, Yu Wen Wen wanted to have such a magical tool, but his technical ability and level were not enough. It took nearly ten years to "invent" a practical steam engine.

Related principle verification machines have been available for a long time, but they cannot be practical. The result of forced launch is that the boiler explosion has caused major casualties one after another.

Yuwen Wen was a little discouraged by this. He felt that he might not be able to see a steam locomotive driving in front of him in his life. The things he had spent countless developments were not magical tools but toys. When he was sad, he suddenly frowned and planned to take his mind.

The boiler cannot become a steam engine, so it is always good to use it to boil water to make the "three warmth"!

So, the ‘mobile multifunctional hot water boiler’ appeared.

While ensuring safety, relatively portability and fuel saving (firewood, coal, etc.), this boiler is mainly used to burn hot water, and can steam rice and food, and can also use steam to disinfect scalpels, gauze and other items.

Although it is not a high-end steam engine and cannot provide steam power, Yuwen Wen's "invention" is an amazing breakthrough for military logistics support.

A two-wheeled carriage of ordinary size can be equipped with a hot water boiler. This boiler is very well-made. Apart from the disadvantage of expensive construction, its multifunctional use brings many conveniences to soldiers.

After a day of hiking, it would be very comfortable and relieve fatigue if the soldiers could soak their feet with hot water. If they could have a bowl of salty hot soup when eating dry food, it would not only warm the stomach but also warm the heart. With the "mobile multi-function hot water boiler", the chefs can supply large amounts of hot water and hot drinks in a short period of time.

In the most extreme case, you can also place this hot water boiler on one end of the narrow corridor and spray steam to kill people. It is really a must-have product for home travel and killing people.

Yu Wenwen wanted to keep the Xuanhu, hoping to save as much fuel as possible while solving the problem of boiling water and cooking rice, so he ordered people to transport all the finished hot water boilers in the workshop to the Xuanhu, which was very useful from the beginning.

The operation of this thing must be done by a dedicated person, and the daily maintenance and maintenance must be done by a dedicated person. Every time Yuwen Wen patrols the city, he must remind the operators of each hot water boiler to pay attention to "safe production".

It was almost noon, Yuwen Wen was having a meal at the last stop of patrol. Like ordinary soldiers and the people, he ate lunch from the kitchen, and he ate it like this with the people in the camp.

At this time, there were more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians in Xuanhu City. The Anzhou army brought by Yu Wenwen had no family members to accompany the army, and reinforcements arrived in Xuanhu one after another before the enemy troops arrived at the city. Of course, they had no family members. The surrendered Yuzhou soldiers took their families with their families, and many people remained in Xuanhu, including many old, young, women and children.

These people stayed in the city for various reasons, which was a burden in a sense, but Yu Wenwen was not so cold-blooded. When formulating the food ration system, these people were also counted.

And these people have received no bad food and clothing over the past few months. They are quite familiar with the "Sunset King" who often appears in front of them. When they see each other coming, they are willing to say anything in their hearts.

In this era, the hierarchy of all levels of society is very strict, and the nobles and the lows are different. Yuwen Wen has tried his best to use the code of conduct that conforms to the values ​​of this era to be close to the people. If he is false benevolence and righteous, he was acting at the beginning, but after acting for so long, it will come true.

Yuwen Wen was guarding Xuanhu for a year and had to use any means, so breaking the distinction between high and low is nothing to him.

He was thinking about things in his mind, but his steps had not stopped. After a while, Yuwen Wen came to the southwest corner of the city and turned into a bunker. Yang Su, wearing armor, was looking at a roll of paper. When he saw Yuwen Wen enter, he quickly saluted. Yuwen Wen opened his mouth and asked the other party what he thought after reading.

"King, if the records and observations are correct, the lower officials feel that the enemy is probably mobilizing cavalry to the southeast." After Yang Su finished speaking, he handed the roll of paper back to Yuwen Wen, and then asked: "King, can our reinforcements have arrived in Guangcheng?"

"It's almost time to calculate the time."

"King, is our reinforcements pretending or main attack?"

"If you follow the previous plan, of course you will be a feint."

What Yuwen Wen and Yang Su are discussing now is about the abnormal movements of the enemy outside the city in recent days. Yuwen Wen arranged for a special person to set up observation posts at the commanding heights in the city, and used a high-power telescope to observe the movements outside the city. A large amount of data has been recorded since the enemy's siege.

What is the data? The actions of the enemy troops outside the city.

For example, the daily patrol times, number of teams, dispatch time, etc. of the cavalry outside the long circumference, and those observation posts have been observing the mobilization of troops outside the enemy with high-power telescopes.

They accumulated a large number of observation records every day, and there were many various data, which made people feel a headache. However, it was through such long-term observation and careful organization that Yuwen Wen had initially mastered the movement rules of enemy cavalry outside the city.

Now, this rule suddenly became chaotic, and the observation post found many clues. After summarizing it, we came to a conclusion: the enemy seemed to be mobilizing cavalry to move south, and it was quite large.

Yuwen Wen analyzed it carefully for a day and agreed with this conclusion, but he was not sure, so he found a "third party" to confirm that this "third party" was Yang Su.

Yang Su was doing nothing except guarding the city in Xuanhu. Yu Wen Wen happened to hand over such a brain-consuming thing to the other party. After thinking about it for a long time, Yang Su also came to a similar conclusion.

This proves that Yuwen Wen's pre-war planning was as scheduled. After rest and recuperation, his Hulin Army should have crossed the Dabie Mountains to head north and arrived in Guangcheng.

And the counterattack of our main force will begin.

"King, is our counterattack really a sound attack?"

"The original plan was like this, but that was a plan formulated several months ago. It is unknown whether it is implemented like this now." Yuwen Wen did not intend to hide anything. Now it is a time when everyone is united, and it is always good to give one more person a plan.

What's more, Yang Su is indeed a really capable man!

"I am sneaking into Xuanhu, but I didn't expect to meet the emperor. After several months, the wars in various places have been progressing recently. I can't know even if I am in Xuanhu, but one thing is certain that my Hulin Army should have arrived in Guangcheng."

“Since that’s the case….”

Yang Su pondered at how powerful Yuwen Wen's Hulin Army was. He had really experienced the battle between Lianghekou. If, according to what Yuwen Wen said, the counterattack in Shannan was to attack the west as originally planned, then in his opinion, Yuchi Dun might have adopted probably only a few strategies.

"King, the lower official thinks that since Yuchi Dun wants to move, our army must not let him be calm..."

When Yuwen Wen heard this, he knew that the other party had a plan in his mind, so he asked, "What is the trick of envoy Yang?"
Chapter completed!
